What heat do you have? Like high heat? Med high? Med?

I’m on a gas range with heat on medium. Allow it to heat until olive oil is lightly smoking.

Then drop in and leave, flip, etc.

If I’m super serious with a real nice ribeye I break out the cast iron and put to med high.

Cut is too thin, you're limited with that. Something around 3/4 inch or better gives you more room.

Gotcha. Thank you.

Is that a cutting board/mat ?

Y’all gotta stop being scared and turn that heat up full blast when you’re cooking a steak. Thing should be screaming at you when it hits the pan. Only way you’re gonna get a great crust on the exterior.

Also as M Mark Antony stated you should really be going for thicker cuts. The only time I’m eating a steak that’s not ~2” thick is if it’s something like a skirt steak.

I'm definitely doing that wrong, but it's not fear of turning the heat up. I just thought it was supposed to be a slow cook to the center, that's all.

Definitely going way hotter next time, though. I appreciate that.

 

[darthska]

Yep. Love them. Bendable so it's easy to slide veggies or cubed meat into saucepans or whatever then straight into the dishwasher.

Nah the idea is a high heat sear to the outer, with an accurate estimation on where the center will end up at after resting.

darthska Just try to burn your kitchen down next time man. Stop being scared.

But solid advice from folks.

Solid thread.

Since we're on it, I did do a steak over the weekend. Love some potatoes au gratin.
